Common causes of itchy red spots on hands and legs of 3 year old children can be insect bites, bacterial infections like impetigo and furunculosis, atopic dermatitis, allergic rashes, fungal infections and even dry skin. All these leave a blackish mark on the bay’s legs and hand. So we should apply a good moisturiser to prevent this. Apart from using a topical ointments which are advised by the doctor for the disease a good hypoallergic moisturiser should be used. The moisturisation of the skin should be done 3 to 4 times in a day. A scented based soap can be used which causes blood reactogenic in the skin of the child. Ensure proper fluid intake in the child. All these things will help to prevent blackish discolouration of the skin after the rashes.
